Yesterday I posted about ballerscafe talking about Entourage picking up some HK players. In that post I was careful to not say “Dynasty Entourage”, because at that point we really had no idea what was going to happen with them seeing as Dynasty is a pro team and having two pro teams named Dynasty would be super awkward. Anyway it looks like ProPaintball.com has the Exclusive about what is happening with the team. Read all about it below.
Dynasty Entourage, winners of the 2009 USPL Semi-pro series and all four events of the USPL will be graduating from the Dynasty farm system and unit. Team Entourage will be based out of Newport Beach and will be competing in the 2010 USPL PRO Division as well as the 2010 PSP semi-pro X-ball division and elements of the team will be at various scenario events through out the United States. After four years of being Dynasty Entourage and winning more events then any other single team through out those years in their division the students feel its time to face the masters, and will be competing at the highest level of paintball one can play. World Famous Entourage will also be the flagship team for JT USA, supporting and wearing the all new 2010 line up of JT pants, JT goggles, JT arm pads, JT knee pads, JT jerseys, JT gloves, and JT gear bags. World Famous Entourage will be using Custom team tanks from Guerilla Air along with new 2010 Empire Prophecies. World Famous Entourage will also be the newest member to the Bob Long family and will be shooting the all new 2010 Bob Long Victory LE gun, fully equipped with Tadao OLED Boards, Violent Products Triggers and Magnum Regs. The team will also be Giant Paintballs Factory team with a team stadium built at Hollywood Sports Park. Along with these sponsors World Famous Entourage will also be sponsored by GEN X GLOBAL. The team feels that with competitive practicing and efficient training methods which have worked so far so good for the team that they will be able to handle the step up in the divisions as well as compete at the highest level. The 2010 line up will consist of Mark Lack, Tyler Shelton, Ronnie Filippone, Raney Stanzcak , Ryan Collette, Ryan Martin, Dalton Vanderbyl, Kekoa Ferguson, and the newest member to the team Bear D’Egidio. With that said the team looks to have an exciting season and thanks all fans and support they have been given over the years. World Famous Entourage looks to have an exciting year with so many events and new companies supporting them the opportunities seem endless and stay tuned for any new information regarding the team and updates on our new PBNation Professional team thread.

It is my duty to report that I am discontinuing the Hurricane pro team. And even though this team has been, and remains, my pride and joy, I report this without remorse. Quite the opposite, really, but I’ll get to that.
The sponsorship game isn’t what it used to be, and the Hurricanes, bereft of a store or field or other ‘inside’ angle, were not able to attract the sponsorship we needed to be a competitive team again. And that started me down the road that led to my decision. It wasn’t all about money, though. In fact, it was more about the long term direction of the team. The Hurricanes were built on the model for pro teams circa 2004, and that model is outdated and likely unsupportable (if not already, then in the near future). Even if I put together the money for 2010, the team would be in the exact same position the next year. We lack the means to control our destiny. Further thought and consideration led me to the realization that the Hurricanes could not be reformed to look like the newer model for pro teams. And once I realized that, I realized that we were like a raft in the ocean – we had no direction and no real hope of getting anywhere. We could just, at best, hopefully keep ourselves from drowning.
And don’t kid yourselves, even if we returned to our 2008 form and started hitting top 4’s, our unsustainability would have remained (and I do believe that we would have come back much stronger, and a potential top 4 team).
So, short and sweet (and so utterly unlike me). PbNation has been gracious enough to allow me to keep the forum open for a bit. And I think if you come back here on Xmas morning, there may be some surprises for you, things that will explain why I am excited and hopefully will get fans of the team excited as well (although, if you need good news from me on Xmas morning to get excited, you probably need to seek professional help)
This is not the end. More to follow.

Ballers cafe if reporting that HK Army players Scott Kressin and Bear D’Egidio are going to be playing for Entourage in 2010. Entourage will be playing Semi Pro PSP and in the NPPL they will be making the jump from division 1 all the way up to pro. So far they are for sure sponsored by JT and Bob Long Technologies.
It looks like Bob still has a Pro team then, after the Russian jumping ship for MacDev.
